OPM acting director Charles Ezell releases memo to agency heads which says that "provisions of collective bargaining agreements that conflict with management rights are unlawful and unenforceable." Memo specifically addresses telework issues. chcoc.gov/sites/defaul...

None of these clowns actually made it through a real law school, did they?

brada.bsky.social•24 days ago

It’s not as if Harvard doesn’t graduate people who are only capable of drafting pleadings in crayon.

ele-alepou.bsky.social•24 days ago

Lolol. No

theboxenking.bsky.social•24 days ago

This one is probably the dumbest one. Holy shit. Like it's DUMB dumb.

mightybattlecat.bsky.social•24 days ago

These people are so damn terrified of employee power and self-determination.

LOL. LMAO.

Maybe not the greatest thing that the head of the OPM knows less labor law than a random ex-school board member from California.

I am also not a lawyer but...::blinks rapidly:: I feel like this is where I should insert the "that's not how this works, that's not how any of this works" gif?

He’s retroactively declaring that CBA couldn’t be signed? That’s not even the worst of it but lol, lmao.

He really hates anything Biden did just because Biden did it, huh.

gregdoucette.bsky.social•24 days ago

IMO their goal is getting this 6-3 R supermajority SCOTUS to revive Lochner v New York, and using public sector union case law to get there

babblingfringe.bsky.social•24 days ago

Gotcha, gotcha.

Isn’t “we signed a deal and a later president said never mind” seems like the sort of thing that tends to make Gorsuch mad?

I guess that’d still be 5-4 if they were doing the math and maybe they aren’t doing the math at all.

trolleyjoe.bsky.social•24 days ago

but would lochner even help them since the collective bargaining agreement exists?

tomoh.bsky.social•24 days ago

Well if no one stops you, be dumb as a shit and break stuff I guess. My senator @amyklobuchar.com just voted to confirm another Trump cabinet member. Don't see her stopping much.

Huh? Wow

morgalyn.bsky.social•24 days ago

we oppress management so ruthlessly. will no one think of *their* rights

timothystamm101.bsky.social•24 days ago

Will no one think if the kings right to rule and the nobles' privileges?/s

thatac.bsky.social•24 days ago

This is dumber than I think it is isn't it.

scottneilitz.bsky.social•24 days ago

Also wouldn't trying to stop telework contravene the deferred resignation shell game?

robtaber.bsky.social•24 days ago

I love how these guys who came up in tech, a famously un-unionized sector, are flummoxed that federal employees actually have workplace rights.

rajamic.bsky.social•24 days ago

"Management rights". Is that even a thing?

szreich.bsky.social•24 days ago

Anyone doing this kind of thing is insane and begging for the the federal judiciary to benchslap you.

Insane for anyone *other* than the Trump administration. SCOTUS has already excused more egregious conduct by Trump.

soonergrunt.bsky.social•24 days ago

I get the impression that he hasn't actually read 5 USC § 7106, or any FLRA caselaw.
Or anything else.
I mean, yeah 7106 defines management rights. But management loves to pretend that things that are not their rights are their rights.

ruviewer.bsky.social•24 days ago

And that’s why there is another section called employee rights

soonergrunt.bsky.social•24 days ago

Yes. 5 USC § 7102
